of the whole tour. great show all around.

as for the digi noises, Im thinking either A. it was sounds from the speakers, or B. it was from my transfer because only one person patched out of me that night, and it was a dude with a MD.

Spectacular recording of a fantastic show. The Josephson C42s are GREAT MICS, and I'm excited to see they were running at this show of shows.

(However, I'm hearing some pops and clicks that lead me to believe the SHNs were badly ripped from audio CDs. Listen to the end of D2T1 (starting at about 5:35). Are these artifacts from the recording, or the audio transfer? As there is no transfer data in the info file, I really suspect this is a bum transfer.)

UPDATE: I've since learned that the clicks are on at least one other person's DAT copy of this show, meaning they are recording flaws and not transfer related. Maybe there was a short in the rig somewhere? Anyway, a shame...still the show/recording are really good, but the clicks will bother the more picky digital tapers among us.

I have tracked down a recording with different mics which also sounds great, and does not have the cursed clicks. I'll upload it right away.

My rating of the show:
Performance: 5
Song Selection: 5
Recording Quality: 5
but final rating lowered to 3 due to noted flaws.

Comments?

if anyone out there has the DATs for this show I'll offer to do a DAE free transfer. I can trade or b&p for the dats. contact me at greens_n_beans@yahoo.com. thanks

The sound quality on this recording is excellent, very crisp and the bass is prominent without being distorted (like on a lot of STS9 recordings). The show itself is one of the best of the year.
